Theatre People

‘Like falling into the pages of a storybook’.

This land was so small, and this ocean so large, that the people who lived there just saw a vast blue, beyond that which they knew, and never even thought of what might be out there. But one did. On the island, in a house, on a hill, grew a girl. And she knew what she was told: that this island held all that there was. But still she found herself wondering, about all that there wasn’t – things that weren’t facts, but were maybes, and could-bes, and ifs. Could there be another place, say, where the stars right above her could be seen from the left, but the ones to her right could be looked at straight up? So when her island one day sprang a leak, she and her people, they went to find out…
